"I... It's not..."The man who found that there was no hope of escaping actually sat directly on the ground, speechless looking at the girl who was slowly approaching him, and when Langdon was about to touch him, he actually shouted in a panic: "... Other... Don't take me back..."

"That's not what I intended, you rude fellow." The girl gently kicked him with her foot and said, "So far I don't even know who you really are and why you are here. But it seems like you're familiar with me? ”

“... Demon... Langdon... A 'monster' with an angelic face but a demon's heart... Who wouldn't know you! The man struggled to get out of the way of the girl.

"How did this 'unpleasant' comment come about, I think you need to explain it to me properly." Although the girl's expression was very calm, the electricity emitted from her body made Yu Siqi, who was looking forward to the barbecue on the shelf becoming ripe soon, couldn't help but look up to see what was going on.

The man who was about to retreat to the edge of the cliff suddenly realized something, sat up in a hurry and said, "It seems that I can't escape this time, come on... Give me a good time, even if I die, I won't go back with you. ”

Seeing the man puff out his chest and say such words, everyone first looked at each other with a confused expression, and then turned their gaze to the girl.

However, the girl was obviously also stunned by this sudden speech, and she opened her mouth slightly in surprise, breathed lightly and said, "If you want to die and find a place to go by yourself, why do you have to do it yourself?" ”

“... You... I—" The man stuttered and pointed at the girl, as if he wanted to say some vicious 'line', but he didn't have the courage to do so.

Seeing that the two of them couldn't communicate properly, Father An walked over with a smile and said, "Do you mind talking to this old man with me?" ”

Maybe it was Father An's smile that made the man lower his guard, or maybe he felt that it would be a little better to talk to the priest, and the man who looked down and thought for a while reported his name: "Number 83017, it's a synthetic person who escaped here." ”

"Synths?" Father An frowned slightly and asked, "Aren't you human?" ”

"Not strictly speaking." "Even though we have the same appearance and structure as humans, we were created by machines," the man said. ”

"Machines create humans, it's a lot like that guy's style." Tag muttered to himself.

"Because it was created by the machine, we are all marked with a unique mark." The man pulled his shirt open, revealing the number '83017' on the line on his chest.

"So to ask a less polite question, are you a slave?" Fr. Ann asked.

"No, if I were just a slave, I probably wouldn't want to run away." The man said something surprising, "In a sense, we synths are nothing more than processed 'backup fuel'. If there is a shortage of energy in the main engine room, we will be sent to the energy room to recharge the energy. ”

"Do you think of people as 'power banks'?" "Who came up with this idea?" ”

"Then you don't need to ask, it's naturally her!" The man pointed to the girl's face and said, "It's the idea that this synth traitor named Langdon came up with, and because of that... She received her name and changed her fate. And we... But he can only become an outlaw in order to survive. ”

"Is that so?" Father Ann turned his face away and looked at the girl with a sincere attitude.

"I'm sorry, that's a question I can't answer." The girl said indifferently, "I never deny that I am a synth, but I am skeptical of his unfounded accusations. Unfortunately, at this stage, I can't come up with any evidence to prove that what he said is a lie. ”

"That's not going to be easy, little girl." Pavadi touched his chin and said, "People are adamant that you are the 'evil' in his mouth, and their attitude is quite resolute. ”

"I am full of confidence," said the man with his hands on his chest, "I don't believe you asked her to show us her chest, and if it weren't for the four numbers 7354, I would like to apologize." ”

"What to do, he wants to see your body?" Father Ann asked with a smile.

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who will compromise at the request of any unknown fellow?" The girl said coldly, "As an overseer, I have done a lot of cruel and bloody work! ”

"I believe you in that," said Pavadi, "I'm sorry, 83017...it doesn't look like she's going to show you her boobs!" ”

"Hmph, that's to be expected." The man said contemptuously.

"I can testify that she doesn't have the number you said she had on her chest." In the end, Yu Siqi, who overcame the ** of food, walked among them and said, "I don't know why you are so prejudiced against her, but I think... Don't you think you've gone too far? ”

"How can I trust you, how do I know you're not in the same group?" The man shouted unwillingly.

"Oh... I don't think you have much of a choice. Pavadi gently put his hand on the man's shoulder and said, "Now, I want to ask you some questions. You can choose to answer or you can choose to remain silent. But I think it's better to answer a question well than to be forced to ask it, isn't it? ”

The man tried to remove Pava's left hand, but found that he could not do anything but let it rest. Knowing the strength of the Pavadi, he compromised and said, "Ask, I don't promise to answer all questions." ”

"It's okay, I'll let you do it." Pavadi smiled siniestly and said, "First question, whose camp is there over there?" ”

"Which camp?" The man asked.

"It's the camp near the giant, where we came from." Pavadi said.

"Did you pass through Oga's territory?" The man asked in surprise, "Impossible, you guys... No, it won't... I don't believe it..."

"Answer the question!" Hearing the word 'Oga', Pawa gently pinched the man's shoulder, and his body sank a little in pain and said, "It hurts... Hurt... I say... I'll say it all..."

"Say, stop playing with words." Pavadi urged.

"It's a trading post," the man said, "and it's where we use to trade with Ogga." ”

"Do you have a deal with Olga?" Pavadi asked.

"Yes, we use Oga to trade with him what we need. You know, this area is not a pure land on earth, and there are dangers hidden everywhere. But we have come to an agreement with Oga that he will be able to give us something in return as long as we provide him with a sufficient number of Oga plates. After the man finished speaking, he added: "Did you really kill Ogga?" When we heard his screams, we thought he had encountered some powerful enemy! ”

"It's a formidable enemy, but I didn't guess that guy had sanity." Parvadi sighed and said, "If I had known that he would be able to communicate normally, I wouldn't have gone to the 'dead hand'." ”

"No, no... Oga has long gone crazy ... After being reformed by this vicious woman, he has completely lost his mind. We were only able to communicate with him thanks to Ogataban, which was said to be the most cherished thing in his life, and the only shred of reason that may have been left to warn him not to be completely lost. The man glared at the girl viciously and said, "That's why he was willing to stop and listen to our request when he saw Ogaba. ”

"This solves a puzzle in my mind," said Father Ann, "and I thought you were going to make a big move with so many Oga plates, but you just used them as currency." So the question is, where did your Oga board come from? ”

"It's all taken out of those trucks, and each one has hundreds of Oga plates." The man said, "Didn't you see it just now, this kind of thing is completely useless, it is not waterproof... It is not fireproof, and it cannot be used to make clothes, so it can only be traded with Ogga. ”

"So what can you usually trade with Ogga?" Pavadi asked.

"A lot, you see... The clothes on my body were traded. The man said, "And the food that is being barbecued over there is also traded." ”

"But I didn't see any signs of animals along the way, and I didn't have any living creatures to spare." Pavadi asked again.

The man hesitated, not seeming to answer Pavadi's question. However, when his shoulders began to sink, he finally chose to speak, "I said... Don't pinch... One Oga board can be exchanged for five corpses, and those with clothes can only be exchanged for three... Those with broken hands and feet can be exchanged for eight... Alright... Stop pinching..."

"Corpses?" Yu Siqi turned his head suddenly, looked at the meat that was roasted to dripping oil, and suddenly felt that it was good that he was not impressed by the ** in his heart.

"Don't tell me you're usually 'eating people.'" Father Ann said word for word.

"Otherwise, you tell us what to eat?" The man asked disapprerovingly, "Do you think there are any other ingredients to choose from in this kind of ghost place?" ”

"That's not an excuse for you to 'eat people'!" Father Ann reprimanded.

"Then what do you want us to do with starvation?" The man retorted, "Or should we run back and be part of the 'fuel'." We didn't kill anyone on our own initiative, and those who became dishes were subservient to her men. In other words, the 'traitors' among those synths have nothing to do with us anymore, what we have to do... It's just a matter of recycling the 'scrap' that died in Ogga's hands. ”

"How can you say such a morally degraded thing, even if you are a synth, you shouldn't even give up basic ethics." Yu Siqi said as he grabbed the man's collar.

"It's not your turn to teach me what to do and what not to do." The man tried to break Yu Siqi's hands, and then pushed him down fiercely and said, "We may be human beings who are synthesized by machines, but we also have emotions and **." And in this kind of ghost place, the only wish of those of us synths who have finally escaped from the 'sea of suffering' is to try to live. ”

Yu Siqi, who fell to the ground, looked at the skin of his palm that was scratched, and then looked at the man in front of him, feeling that he couldn't communicate with this kind of irrational person.

"Since you say I'm a demon, then I'll fulfill you." The green light in the girl's eyes made Yu Siqi realize what she wanted to do, and before Siqi got up to stop her behavior, the man had already pinched his neck with both hands, fell to his knees and lost his breath.

"You don't have to do it yourself," said Tag, who had been watching, "and this 'garbage' is not worth soiling yourself..."

"It doesn't matter, anyway, in the eyes of these people, my hands are already filthy." The girl said lightly: "And thanks to him, I know the exact location." ”

"What about the others hiding underneath?" Yu Siqi asked, "No matter what..."

"You don't need to care about that, it's not something you should think about." The storm, who had not spoken for a long time, interrupted Yu Siqi's speech and said, "When I get my strength back, I will personally 'clean up' this place, after all, this is the first responsibility of a commander." ”

"Well, I won't say anything more." Yu Siqi knew that he had no way to transform these, and to be honest... He himself was deeply disgusted by what these 'synths' were doing.

Father An, who was about to leave, pulled Siqi to his side and asked in a low voice, "Are you hurt?" ”

"No, it's just a little bit of skin." Yu Siqi said: "If it really hurts, I think you should be the first to make a move, right?" ”

"That's nature," said Father Ann with a smile, as everyone else walked towards their location, "but before I get into my conservation work, I'd like to ask you a personal question, is it convenient?" ”

"If there's anything inconvenient, just ask." Yu Siqi said heartily.

"Do you really know that your new friend doesn't have a number on his chest, and it's not just to defend her, right?" Father Ann deliberately kept his voice down, because the girl was walking past them, and Yu Siqi couldn't guarantee that she had heard anything.

"Of course, I've seen it with my own eyes." Yu Siqi replied without thinking, but as soon as he said this, he noticed that something was wrong, and he seemed to be being told by the priest, especially when there were a bunch of people around him.

"I didn't expect your relationship to go this way," said Pavadi mildly, "and it's no wonder that the enemies of the past will turn to our side in an instant, and sure enough...'Gentle Country' is such a thing as a man and a woman!" ”

"I didn't expect that either." Storm stared thoughtfully at Yu Siqi and said.

"I didn't expect that," Tag added briefly.

Listening to the lines of everyone's words, Yu Siqi felt that the top of his head was glowing, and some uncontrollable heat was spurting out from between his ears and nose, making him a little embarrassed.

In fact, it was not only him, but even the girl who was standing far away, and there was a faint flush on her fair cheeks.

"Alright, let's take us to the next place." Father An, who had succeeded in his plan, waved his hands at the girl with satisfaction, like a child who had just eaten a sweet-mouthed candy.
